The Shannons Insurance Skyline Nationals 2012 - Goulburn And Wakefield Park


Recommended Posts

Seeing as there were so many noob's on the track I was glad that Bec was tough on the behaviour. Sets a good precedence for their next track day :)

It's so nice to be able to drive home from the track, in the car you drove there in. And makes for a lot less paperwork :D

No flames or tank slapping photos sorry, big thanks to the R31 Skylines club for some great pics of the weekend.

Lotsa pics and vid can be found here > http://forum.r31skyl...topic=154303.30

The R35 tried to be exciting going into turn 1 on the grass inside the HR31 ... Wakefield staff didn't seem to appreciate the excitement either, I thought it was most entertaining :D

I wasn’t planning on finding the grass at 210kph that is what happens when another driver does not see you going up the inside of them and moves over on you. Just got a bit sideways and went on the grass to avoid an accident. All was ok the other driver did apologise after that, they did not predict the R35 gains so much down the straight and didn’t think I would be there at that time. Did make for an exciting ride and entry into turn 2 trying to pull it up.

More photos of the day would be good to see....

I believe it happened twice to you, the other time it was me coming out, they said go and I did, I then got on the brakes hard as soon as I saw you coming.

I think it was a 35, I was kind of focused on staying as far left as I could and clutching my seat with my arse cheeks.

Artz, just think of all the little mementos that you'll get from under the car when you get under there!

At least the tow truck did some skids pulling you out ;)

Results for the track day.

Anyone know the Show and Shine rusults ????, the black 31 2 door with the cage was my pick !!!!

I'm loving how fatz is in Class D, Race or heavily modified road cars in his massively worked 32 GTR. 3rd fastest time in Class B

Would have thought Dennis Resi GTR would have been a heavily modded road car, and fatz would be in the road car class dose not effect me at all just would make more sense from the results and make them look closer.

My boat maybe should have beed in "D" as well, my first run was in group 2 but I didnt have the pace (read:skill) to keep up with the fast guys so I jumped to group 3, still a fair few of the cars in "B" were "highly modified"

Maybe tyre classification would have been better in splitting the class ?

Call me "Capt Hindsight" or an Idiot, I answer to either !!!!

I circled D not B

Is 380 kw and no cage heavily modified?

As the rules for the event were very lose I would say, "who knows when modified becomes heavily modified"

But going by the CAMS provisional rules and regs I would say yes for mine, they put me in Type SV.

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
